Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines whether a circular connector can substitute for the ACT96WC35PB?

A: Substitution requires exact matching of connector type (plug with male pins), position count (22), shell size (13-35), termination method (crimp), fastening type (threaded), orientation (B), shell material (composite), contact finish (gold), shielding (shielded), contact material (copper alloy), contact finish thickness (50.0µin), insert material (thermoplastic), ingress protection (environment resistant), and mounting type (free hanging in-line).

Q: Why is the ACT96WC35PB discontinued?

A: The part is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. Substitute parts from active manufacturers provide equivalent functionality with current production support and updated compliance certifications.

Q: Does the CTVS06RF-13-35PB-506 operate at the same temperature range as the original?

A: The CTVS06RF-13-35PB-506 operates from -65°C to 200°C, which exceeds the original ACT96WC35PB specification of -65°C to 175°C. This extended range provides additional thermal margin for demanding applications.

Q: What is the difference between CTVS06RF-13-35PB and CTVS06RF-13-35PB-506?

A: The CTVS06RF-13-35PB-506 provides complete detailed specifications matching the original part, including 22-position configuration, crimp termination, and gold contact finish. The CTVS06RF-13-35PB variant has limited specification data available.

Q: Are the substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The CTVS06RF-13-35PB-506 is ROHS3 compliant. The original ACT96WC35PB is RoHS non-compliant. The D38999/26WC35PB RoHS status is not specified in available data.

Q: What is the inventory status of substitute parts?

A: CTVS06RF-13-35PB-506 has 1164 units in stock, D38999/26WC35PB has 805 units in stock, and CTVS06RF-13-35PB has 791 units in stock.

Q: Can these connectors be used in aerospace and military applications?

A: Yes. The CTVS06RF-13-35PB-506 is qualified for aviation, marine, and military applications. All substitute parts carry EAR99 export classification consistent with aerospace and defense use.
